Labor Unions
During the 1900 period, labor unions were a main piece that influenced wages and working conditions. At that time, labor unions were difficult because they required the people to produce goods for everyone and free riders that wish to not even contribute at all. Craftsmen did the work of early industry at the time, and the unions they formed back then helped give a bargaining alliance with other craftsmen. In the 1900s the rise of industry was a major part of labor unions because it began to bring along inventions like the steam engine and other effective tools to make work more efficient.
